What Comes from a Christmas Pageant

We have just completed the annual Victoria Christmas Pageant for the 26th time.  We saw thousands attend, they saw the story of Jesus from birth to death to resurrection.  They also saw a church dedicated to a great work.  Special thanks go to Connie and John for putting this altogether.

There is a lot more that I got see God do that I wanted to tell you about. 
I got to see:
- a young woman who described her religion as "pagan" come ask for a Bible.
- a man who had been overseas defending our country come ask for prayer for all the troubling things he had seen that still haunt him.  There were tears in his eyes.
- a single mom, recovering from divorce, turn her life over to Christ.
- another young woman sought prayer for her husband who is now in jail.
- a girl recovering from the trauma of abuse receive Christ.
- two of our prop crew accept Christ.
- a man who has worked on our janitorial crew accept Christ along with his wife.
- 17 people who told us they accepted Christ as their saviour during pageant.

A man also come by to tell us that last year he received one of the Here's Hope CDs during our pageant.  He was working with a young man from Mexico and teaching him English.  He used the audio copies of the New Testament available on the CD in both English and Spanish to help his young co-worker.  The young man became a Christian because of all of that. He has now returned to Mexico, felt a call to ministry and is studying to be a pastor.

Who knows what we will see next year from seeds sown this year.  Thanks for all of you who sowed and thanks to the Lord of the harvest for using us to His glory.  For the journey...
